what's bothering me about bruce willis (currently watching pulp fiction again) - the shoulders are much too wide and blocky. the face is however nearly perfect.

Awesome render!

d2king10 - yeah I don't think its as bad as you make out, but I will rein his bagginess in a bit
Notorious P.I.G - I thought my bruce willis had a body of sorts
e-freak - grr I have already taken in his shoulders. will check my refs again

Working on a new sword. Might add a tachometer in the center of the blade to show when the gears are up to speed. Highpoly almost done.

Did some more work on my characters outfit :



The one thing I'm really not looking forward to is starting the hands, but I guess I'll have to ;)

seriously, that would be amazing.

Some of it could use some work, but I promised I'd be done by tonight.

Oh also, the tri count doesn't include base...

Bigger picture of the final piece... I wanna see the model with textures on it... not the texture sheets with the model in the background :P

Does look good though... I'd prob dirty it up just a wee bit if you can.

Im trying to enter the GA mini comp, here is the pawn Im working on:

gimme a bit of time, i have to finish one other character and a cave model first, then i can do that, maybe in a week

meh couldn't resist to play around on a texturesize like the scout has, definitely something different to my usual texturesizes



now back to work

To answer a couple of questions, here's a quick process layout (click for full-resolution):



Side note: If you're feeling adventurous you could also import a higher subdivision level or re-topology mesh from ZBrush and use Skin Wrap (3ds Max) or Wrap deformer (Maya) to attach it to the rig, and use displacement and/or normal-maps to render out a proper animation of the highpoly
I might give that a shot at some point just to see how it goes.

Far out Mop, thanks man

sweeeet, thanks mop

Kewlz stuff, Mop....thanks for the walk-through ;)

Thank you very much MoP ( <3 )

Some random gate.
